Day 5 what scene(s) in the movie stood out to you today? Explain why?
This movie will lead to the development of ultra nationalism. In the movie the Jews are forced to live in seperate housing from all the Germans, and in the housing they are forced to live with many different families. When the Jews were walking to work, and the German people drove by, the Jewish were forced to shovel the walkway. These conditions that the Jews are put under, will eventually lead to ultra-nationalism. - Josey
ReplyDeleteThe Jewish people have been Segregated into Their own housing away from the Germans. The Jewish people are forcefully given new jobs and must work under the Germany military -Jesse Smith

ReplyDeleteWhen the 'useless' man was shot this foreshadows the idea that if a person can't preform to the standard of everyone else they will be killed- because they are not an essential worker.
The movie shows the development of ultranationalism in a way which the German have more power and control over the Jews. They believe that their race and who they are means that they have more loyalty to their nation. Some conditions that show an early start to ultranationalism are that the Germans take the Jewish people out of their homes and send them into labor so that the Germans can make money off them for their own good. By forcing the young, and healthy Jewish people to work by making either pots or pans, or making them shovel snow for the roads, shows that the German race will over power the Jewish people.
ReplyDeleteShayla Gerencer
The forced relocation and general harsh treatment of the Jewish people was so prominent that over time the civilian populaces started to hate them as well.
ReplyDelete-Jonah
I think that the movie will develop into ultra nationalism because it started with the Jews getting kicked out of their homes and loosing everything they had. They had to have a certain job to be chosen to work for Schindler. The Jews have no rights or say in anything that happens to them because the Germans control them. Schindler is in control of what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteBrooke Mckenzie
The first portion of this movie shows ultra-nationalism by the Germans forcing the Jews into the ghetto and completely separating them from the rest of the world. Pushing them into sub par living conditions and herding them into harsh conditions.
ReplyDeleteWill Conley
Some conditions in the movie that portray Ultranationalism forming would be the fact that Oskar Schindler (who is German) was forcing Jewish people to do physical labor because it shows that the Germans have a fanatic loyalty to their country. Another would be when the two German men shot that old Jewish man which is showing that they are becoming hostile and racist towards the Jewish citizens. -Kallie Lloyd
ReplyDeleteIn the last scene we watched, the german man told the Jewish man that he was twice as useless because he only had one arm, and then shot him in the head. This shows his hostility towards the Jewish people and the development towards ultranationalism.
ReplyDeleteSarah
The movie shows ultra-nationalism because the Germans force the Jewish people out of their homes and into much worse living conditions so that higher up German people can live in their houses.
ReplyDeleteJosh Bishop
the conditions in the movie that may have lead or will lead or will lead to the development of ultra nationalism is how the Jews are forced out of their homes and have to work for Germany or German owned businesses. this shows that the Jews are easy to take control of and can be used for the Germans gain.
ReplyDelete-Brittany Kuhn
When the Jewish people were forced out of their homes and give up all of their belongings. This put the Jewish people into a poor standard of living but gave the German people a greater lifestyle. This gave the German people a sense of entitlement and began to create ultranationalism- Karly Larson
ReplyDeleteThe movie leads to the development of Ultranationalism. In the movie, the Germans executed the Jewish population and forced them to give up thier properties such as houses and money. The Jewish people were to do hard labor. When the Jewish people were moving out of the town, the Germans even the children were out in the streets shouting "goodbye Jews." These shows the ultranationalism in Germany.
ReplyDeleteLynn Lee
Some conditions in the movie that will lead to ultranationalism are that the Germans are forcing the Jews out of their homes and to become labour workers. Another condition would be from the last scene when the Germans noticed the old man with one arm wasn't useful to them so they killed him.-Sabrina
ReplyDeleteSocial factor is a key point of ultranationalism in this movie so far. The Germans have separated the Jews between men and woman. They have forced them out of their homes into either killing them or sending them to refugee camps where they are forced to work. This is a social factor because the German population had over powered the Jews and the Jewish had no say or choice to what was going on or what was going to happen to them.
ReplyDelete-Shayla Gerencer
The feeling of superiority towards other nations and that you are so much greater and that other nations do not compare to you and are worthless. - DYLAN
ReplyDeleteA factor that could have contributed to the forming of Ultra-Nationalism in Germany, could be World War I. World War I was a contributing factor to Ultra-nationalism in Germany because the whole entire war was blamed on Germany, Germany had to pay over $30 billion dollars, to recover the costs. This could have created a basis for the Ultra-Nationalism to grow on.
ReplyDelete-Josey
First the Jewish people were told to wear the Star of David on their arms which identify them and separate them from other people.
ReplyDeleteCassie
Heavy feelings of anti-Semitism served to drive people to hate Jews. This was born from a corrupted feeling of Nationalism that ended with the murder of thousands of Jewish people.
ReplyDelete-Jonah
They forced the Jewish people to wear the star of David so separate them from Germans. They used the Jewish peoples head stones as materials to make roads which symbolically represents the Germans treating the Jewish people like "dirt" and walking all over them. - Karly Larson
ReplyDeleteThe people had to wear a white strip on their arm with the star of David which was symbolic. This separated them from the Germans because it showed that they were Jews. The Germans came in and destroyed the life that the innocent Jews had for themselves.
ReplyDeleteBrooke Mckenzie
They used the gravestones as the roads this showed how the German people treated the Jews like crap. There was also a man who was just shooting the Jews for fun he had no reason he just did it. This was a huge sign of Ultra Nationalism - Shane Fraser
ReplyDeleteWorld War 1 could be a contributing factor to the development of ultranationalism because after the war Germany was put to blame and had to pay billions of dollars. In this movie, the Germans are trying to blame the Jewish people for what happened to them in World War 1.
ReplyDeleteSarah
Social factors, are key in ultra nationalism . In the film we see the Jews being separated into groups of men and women, but Schindlers personal associate Jew is being treated different because he is useful where as as Jews that are not proving to be useful are killed.. Jesse
ReplyDeleteThe factors that relate to the development of ultranationalism are racial superiority. The Germans believed that their race was the most powerful and should expand their territories. The Germans in the movie, was feeling superior to every other races; they focred the Jews to the work camps (death camps). They killed the massive population of Jews because the Germans thought that the Jews were not as important as them.
ReplyDelete-Lynn
Just like Russia and Japan, Germany discriminated and isolated the "lesser race" because they were not part of their language or culture. this is ultra-nationalism because they were slaughtering thousands of innocent people that weren't part of that culture.
ReplyDelete-Matt
World War 1 is a possible factor towards the creation of Ultranationalism in Germany. The war was blamed on Germany which left Germany poor and with a lower quality of living. This lead to segregation between the Jews and Germans which is displayed in the movie. -Brianna
ReplyDeleteOne factor that relates to the movie would be social factor because the Germans separated men and women, forcing some to work in refuge camps, also killing a large amount. Showing that they want to get rid of the Jewish culture. -Sabrina
ReplyDeleteThe ultra nationalistic events that occur ed in Germany were a result of a nation of people who were left with no other options, they had to make a change in their government because things were not going well, the dollar value was down, because of the great depression, which always made everyone starve. Setting thestage for Hitler to make the German people believe whatever he told them. In my opinion the situation Germany was put in by the treaty of versatile and the after math of world War 1 were the main driving factors of Germany ultra nationalism shayden Timmons
ReplyDeleteThe Nazi Party is full of people who just kill Jewish citizens because they can. When Helen was talking about Goeth and how he shot a woman passing by on the street, that was an act of ultranationalism. He shot her because to him she was worthless and meant nothing.
ReplyDeleteChelsea Dyck
the actions i seen that reflect ultranationalism was burning the bodies of dead Jewish people, tourturing them mentally, but having everyone in a line and shooting only cerain people. the crualty demonstrated by the Nazis in this movie shows how dangerous ultranationalism can be if not controlled
ReplyDeleteshayden timmons
The actions of the Nazis reflected ultra nationalism in how they just killed people for the fun of it. If they did the slightest thing wrong in the factory they were taken away and killed. When that Jewish guy tried to escape they killed all 25 men that were around him just because they could. Which is very unfair.
ReplyDelete-Josh C
The Nazis show their ultra nationalism through their actions, The kill because they can, I think murder definitely crosses the line from nationalism. - Dylan M
ReplyDeletethe nazis show ultra-nationalism because they will shoot and kill any jew simply because they see any value you in them. They are not just killing for their country. they are killing because they have so much hatred towards the jews. another example is when the nazis pile up the dead bodies and burn them. Tanner Sharuga
ReplyDeleteThe Nazi's actions reflected Ultranationalism by them becoming hostile and racist towards the Jewish population. They did so by forcing them into concentration camps, pretty much making them slaves. Some examples of this from the movie would be how the Nazi's can shoot and beat the Jewish people whenever they please. Another would be when the solider beats up that Jewish women living in his basement for almost no reason, only because she is Jewish.
ReplyDeleteSome actions of the Nazis that reflect ultranationalism would be that they are trying to wipe out all the Jewish people by gasing them, shooting them, or beating them to death. An example would be when the solider beats the Jewish girl, feeling no remorse.-Sabrina
ReplyDeleteNazis killed a mass number of Jews populations for no good reason. Nazis were harsh on Jews and forced them to work such as cleaning or building. In the movie, Nazis punished and killed Jews for everything or sometimes for no reason. They killed the mass number of Jews in death camps and burned the dead bodies. They ordered other survived Jews to carry and burn the dead bodies of Jews. This shows the ultranationalism of Nazis.
ReplyDeleteLynn Lee
The Nazis reflect Ultranationalism when they just take someone and kill them for no reason. In the movie when the man was making hinges, and was taken out of the factory to be executed, the Nazis gun wouldn't fire, this made them upset and didn't bother to kill him after, because it wouldn't be as "fun". Also when the one kid tried to escape, the Nazis killed everyone standing around him. the child couldn't get rid of the stain is his bathtub, and was shot in the head because of it. these examples of ultranationalism
ReplyDeleteMatt
Many of these stages of genocide are present in the movie, Shindlers list. Some examples are they use Classification, by seperating the Jewish from everyone else, they then follow by using symbolization by making the Jewish wear David's Star on the sleeve of their coat to single them out, they use dehumanization by printing hate propaganda against the Jewish, and using racism towards them. They use polarization by dividing the Jewish from everyone else, and placing them in 'the ghetto'. They show preparation by placing the Jewish in 'the ghetto' and death camps.
ReplyDelete- Josey Ruzesky
Seven out of the eight stages of genocide is in the movie. They classified the Jews in the beginning, symbolized them as bad, they dehumanized them, they separated the Jews from the non-Jews, they organized them into ghettos and then death camps, they identified them again, and exterminated them. They have not shown denial yet.
ReplyDeletePresley
classification and symbolism because they had to wear a star of david on their clothing. this identifies them as jewish people and separates them. Also dehuminization, an example of this would be treating them like nothing. In the movie the jews were expected to work hard and are not fed near enough food.
ReplyDeleteCassie Muller
yes all eight stages
ReplyDeleteYes the first stage classification and the forth stage organization because they sorted the women and men separately on the trains. The second stage symbolization was shown because they put the star and white strip on all of there clothing. Polarization which is stage five was shown because they separated all of the families apart. These are all examples of stages of genocide in the movie. - Brooke Mckenzie
ReplyDeleteyes. all stages were present, including classification of he jews by using wrist bans.
ReplyDeleteTanner
yes they are,the movie illustrates the stages of genocide step by step almost exactly. We see it as Germany does it on the Jews.
ReplyDelete-Josh C
In the Film Schindlers list you can plainly see the eight stages of genocide throughout the film. First the Germans classified who they were 'against' then they made all Jewish people wear arm bands with the star of David on them. Next they used propaganda in schools and in everyday life to persuade the population to think they were bad people. Then the Germans segregated the Jewish people and proceeded to move them to concentration camps where they would be exterminated.
ReplyDeleteChelsea Dyck
yes in the movie there were a lot of stages of genocide shown. the Jews were classified and separated by putting them into ghettos and they had to wear a star of David on there shirts. all there personal belongings were taken from them as well. then they were forced to work in factories and concentration camps, before they were exterminated by the Germans.
ReplyDelete-Brittany Kuhn
Yes all of the eight stages of genocide have been shown in the movie. They classified the Jews with the religious star on their chest. Josh Bishop
ReplyDeleteIn the movie, dehumanization is portrayed because the Germans force the Jews to work for nothing. They are not treated equal at all and have to work for no food, water or money. As well, classification is also shown in the movie when the Jews are forced to wear the Star of David on their arm bands to make them recognizable between the Germans and the Jews.
ReplyDeleteShayla Gerencer
yes, classification and symbolism are present when the jews are forced to wear the star of David on their arm, than they were dehumanized and put into the ghetto to live with several other families organized to live their as well, where they were treated like crap. polarization because they had been telling their children, using propaganda that they are worthless and that germans are superior.
ReplyDelete-Matt
Dehumanization and extermination are the two most noticeable stages in the movie. In the scene where the soldier compares the servant girl to a rat and then beats her horribly is a perfect example of how superior the Germans felt they were compared to the Jews. Extermination is shown throughout the entire movie you see the ultimate stage of this in Auschwitz. -Karly Larson
ReplyDeleteThe very last scene where all the Jewish were putting stones on Shindler's grave. It stood out to me because it represented the impact that he placed on these peoples lives up until their last day, it showed that he had truly saved lives and how grateful the Jewish were that he had saved their lives.
ReplyDelete-Josey
The last scene really stood out to me because the Jews who had survived on Schindlers list came and honoured him for what he had done to save them. They placed rocks on his stone to show their honour towards him and their thanks. It stood out to me because Schindler had done something good for a large group of people and they didn't take it for granted. He will always be remembered due to his brave actions for other people.
ReplyDeleteShayla Gerencer
The scene when Schindler breaks down over how he could have saved more people if he had just had more money, or sold his things was very powerful and emotional. Also the scene where all the Schindler Jews put the stones on his grave was also very well done.
ReplyDelete-Jonah
The scene where he was crying because he could have saved more people with the money that he used for his own use. It shows how much he really cared about these people because even though he saved more then 1100 Jew's he still thought he hadn't done enough. Also when that guy was willing to take out his teeth to make him a ring because it shows how much they really respected Oskar.
ReplyDeleteWill Conley
The scene that stood out the most today was when the Jewish's man was willing to have his own teeth pulled out in order to make a nice golden ring for Mr. Schindler. This shows how much these people respected him for saving the lives of just a few of the Jewish culture.- Shane Fraser
ReplyDeleteThe scene that stood out to me today was one where Schindler was fleeing and the Jews he had saved had thanked him. They made him a ring and a letter trying to explain their thanks. Schindler had a hard time leaving them and he regretted that he didn't do more to save more Jews, despite him saving thousands already. I thought that is was very touching to see how much compassion and how caring he was towards the Jews and how hard it was for him to leave them.
ReplyDelete-Brianna
The scene that most stood out in the movie today to me was the last scene when all the Jewish people who survived and were also on the Schindler's List were putting those stones on Oskar Schindler's grave. These people did this to show that they respected and were thankful for what Oskar did to save them. This stood out because Oskar was an important part in these people lives and they would never forget him.
ReplyDeleteKallie Lloyd
The scene that stood out to me was when Schindler started to cry and regret not saving more people because he wasted his money on other things that he thought were important at the time, like his car and his pin. Another scene that stood out was at the end when all the Jewish people that Schindler saved placed a rock on his grave to show their respect for what he did for them. - Josh Bishop
ReplyDeleteThe scene that stands out most are when Schindler cry's because he could have saved more lives if he didn't buy so many accessories, and the fact that all the Jews put stones on his grave to show appreciation. Jesse Smith
ReplyDeleteThe scene that stood out to me was the scene where Schindler was being thanked by the Jewish people, and he said that if he would have given his car he would have saved about 10 more people, or 1 more from his pin. Even though he saved thousands of people, he was still upset that he didn't save more.
ReplyDelete-Sarah
The scene when Schindler announces that the war is over stood out to me the most. The way that he tells the Jews in his factory had a great impact in the movie. When he tells the soldiers that "they have their chance" to open fire on the Jews or "go home to their family as heroes" you see not only the effect that he had on Jewish people but also the German soldiers. The very last scene also stood out to me seeing all of the people that he saved and had an impact on their lives. Seeing them placing the rocks on his grave symbolizing that they will be forever grateful for the sacrifices he made in order to save the many lives. - Karly Larson
ReplyDeletethe scene that stood out the most to me was where Schindler was leaving the camp. It was shocking how upset Oskar Schindler got when he said he could've saved more people if he had given away more of his possessions. this shows how good of a guy he is and how he wanted to save innocent people with everything he had. He had a lot of money and he ended up spending it all on saving the Schindler Jews. -Brittany Kuhn
ReplyDeleteThe scenes that stood out to me were the marking of the Jews at the beginning of the film, recognizing which people were the Jews and who weren't. When the German soldiers would just kill the Jews if they did the slightest thing wrong or just for no reason just because they could. The scene when Oscar Schindler saved over a thousand Jews at the end and spent all his money to save them.
ReplyDelete-Josh C
The scene near the end where Schindler tells the Jews that the war is over stood out in my mind because it was a upsetting but also happy time for the people. They got let free and independent after being controlled for six years. The other scene that stood out was the end where all of the people who were on Schindlers list put stones on his grave. This is a meaning of being permanent and forever to earth. It was a meaningful ending to the movie. ~~ Brooke Mckenzie
ReplyDeleteThe very last scene where all of "Schindler's Jews" are placing stones to honour him, this shows that what he did really had a huge affect on the jewish population. also when the girls train went to Auschwitz and the panic that struck them when they went into the showers. everyone thought that they were going to die especially when they seen the furnace pouring out ashes of human beings onto people like snow. This is significant because when they show this scene they show how bad it actually was in Auschwitz, and how they treated the jews.
ReplyDelete-Matt
to me, the scenes that stood out the most was when the girls were leaving auschwitz, to come so close to certain death and not die was interesting. i also liked when the german soldiers decided not to kill the remaining population at the factory but instead did the morally right thing and walked out. all around a very thought provoking movie
ReplyDeleteshayden timmons
To me, there are many scenes that stand out. For example, the scene where it shows them shoveling snow and that poor man got shot. Another would be when Schindler's Jews arrived at Auschwitz. And, of course, the last scene where Schindler fled and the Jews showed respect at his grave. The first one I mentioned stands out to me because it shows just how cruel Nazi ultranationalists were. They did not care if they killed one person. The second one stands out because so many innocent people died there. And not just Jewish people. When I went to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. last year, I got the chance to find out if any of my family were in death camps. 160 were in death camps. Only 2 survived. My ancestor Johann fled because of the Holocaust and most of his family died because of it.
ReplyDeleteThe last scene stands out to me because Schindler's Jews remembered him. Their families most likely grew up hearing about this great man. All of those people are alive because of Schindler.
The gift of life is the best gift anyone can give.
Presley Harder
The scene that stood out the most is where Schindler was mumbling and almost crying when he received a ring from the Jewish people. Schindler liberated the Jewish people from the concentration camps; the Jewish people made a ring in order to thank him. Schindler feels guilty for not saving more innocent lives; he regrets his greed. Schindler realized that killing innocent Jewish people was not appropriate and spent all his possession on liberating the Jewish population.
